The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

A string rosary came apart, so I decided to teach myself to use flex wire. I used an old centerpiece and used seed beads for spacers, and I think it came pretty nice. It's Tabris-colored, too, but I didn't realize until it was done.

Post a banger that isn't in English.

Does anyone want to alert the FBI that someone's making threats against our congressional representatives? How about the Secret Service?

I went to the fish restaurant with the big picture of the fish on the kiosk. I read the menu, which had ten different kinds of fish. I ordered the Big Fish Sampler Platter. And to my shock, they brought me fish! I hate fish! I had to sit there eating yucky fish! This is somehow not my fault.

Well, I'll make sure I do mine this week!!

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

In terms of religious arguments, this one is kind of funny. They asked me to lector at the Wednesday daily Masses. Okay, but you have to prepare if you want to do it well. And if there are optional readings, that's not decided until 5 minutes before Mass. So I have to prepare them both. *sigh*

The existence of this bubble -- a place where marginalized populations could go to feel safe & accepted & joyful -- drove the wider patriarchal culture *insane*, so they attacked it & attacked it, made it a joke, dismissed it, marginalized it, killed it.

honestly even if you're reading performatively (???) keep doing it lol, buy books, take pictures of yourself reading books, let the reading make your brain better

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue. we’ll all subscribe en masse

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Defense: "Your Honor! I believe the prosecution has attempted jury intimidation!"

Today we are all Zohran's auntie.

Trump's lawyers are in the Supreme Court right now establishing that, among other things, a future Dem president can declare a climate emergency and tariff the fuck out of whatever he wants.

well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy

Dems in ARRAY

I can't wait for whatever unhinged posting Trump is going to do after the humiliation of tonight's votes. If we're lucky, it'll only be unhinged posting. Although who knows, maybe it'll be like after No Kings and he'll knock down the West Wing, too.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

We should implement a legal Rule of Cool where if you commit a crime in a super cool way and *nobody gets physically hurt,* you get total immunity. This will incentivize criminals towards showmanship and avoiding casualties. This is a really good idea.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

Just a reminder that there's a whole bsky feed of things Mike Johnson hasn't seen, doesn't know about, and wasn't informed about. bsky.app/profile/numb...

The range increments of a full subway sandwich are only 10/20 so you have disadvantage on your throw more than a few paces away. You can double the range with a half-sandwich wrapped tightly and druis have a fifth-level subclass feature that removes disadvantage if the sandwich has sprouts

if lore is to be believed, fred astaire used to dance and glide around his tailor's workshop before taking a suit home to make sure the collar always stayed glued to his neck

happy halloween to what many people believed was the greatest tweet of all time

Mike Johnson bemoans able-bodied men collecting healthcare benefits from the government while not working--exactly what Mike Johnson is currently doing.

The joke about Kubrick I heard was that NASA hired him to fake it but after working with him they decided that just going to the moon would be easier.

NOTE to everyone else: if you're making homemade vanilla extract for Christmas gifts, you pretty much need to start it today if you haven't already.

Ah, but you see, I don't WANT to get off the couch and make dinner.

CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

So on the one hand, you have a guy who's been accused of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment, using state resources for his personal memoir, and a cover-up related to COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes. And on the other, a guy who incorrectly called a distant relative "auntie."

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

My closing pitch to voters? “I will only live in this awful place if I rule over it”

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition. Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

Miller hasn't been able to provoke violence so far, even with huge No Kings protests, so he's going to provoke it by starving people.

Destroying buildings worked for Netanyahu in Gaza. Could it work for Donald Trump in Washington DC?

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

#NYC #NoKings 👑

I made a feed, it's an ongoing collection of things Mike Johnson haven't seen or heard about. bsky.app/profile/numb... Based on great clips posted by @atrupar.com

ICE should welcome this decision, as it will surely show all these thousands of leftist attacks Noem keeps claiming are happening.

"I don’t know who needs to hear this, but once you realize you’re in a horror movie, put your shoes on right away." 😂 HT my friend Rob Rogers on facebook.

JD Vance says not to focus on what kids are saying in group chats. But we're also seeing a pattern of mass shootings and assassinations being committed by young white men who talk in group chats. So maybe, just perhaps, we should pay attention when young white men talk violently in group chats.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

"Bad people, the kind who hide behind their hats. All the worst peope. Don't even look at the protests because you'll have those images seared onto your retina for the rest of your life. You don't even know all the terrible people who exist, but every one of them will be there."

Trump's insistence that Joe Biden was president on January 6 raises new questions about Joe Biden's memory.
